Kavanaugh SCOTUS hearings

[*bfine32*]

I think a dynamic many are missing is that the accused is assumed innocent until proven guilty.

The best illustration I ever saw of this was in a court room where a defense attorney stood on front of the jury box centered during her opening. And she said: "Many of you came in here today with an open mind and no bias. You're starting right here in the middle. Now the prosecution is going to do some things that well pull you to their side" and she move toward one side of the jury box.

And then she continued 'And then the defense is going to do some things that will pull you to their side" and she moved toward the other side of the jury box. "And your going to have this constant struggle of being pulled from side to side, until you get moved to one side or the other"

She paused and then said "If that is you then you are approaching it all wrong". You must start all the way over here" she moved to the defense side of the jury box "and be pulled all the way over here" she moved to the prosecution side. "If you do not get all the way from here to here, then you cannot find guilty".

Too often we go in neither leaning toward innocence or guilt or even worse; we go in assuming guilt.
